> Key: LOG4J2-1685
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1685
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.7
> Reporter: Raman Gupta
> Assignee: Gary Gregory
> Priority: Minor
>
> I am deploying an app to a Windows server. The app will write logs to standard output
which will then be captured by some wrapper process.
> My default configuration contains ansi escapes for color, because they are nice for every
situation except this one.
> It would be nice if there was a simple way to disable all ansi output via a system property
and/or environment variable e.g.
> `-Dlog4j.ansi.enabled=false`
> This would operate similarly to the Spring Boot `spring.output.ansi.enabled` property
(http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-logging.html).
> In Spring Boot I believe this is handled by using conditionals in their logback configuration
(which would be super-nice in log4j also). With conditional layout I could very easily do
this myself by specifying two different Pattern layouts in my config file, one with color
and one without, conditional on some system property or env var I define.
